Banana Boat 30 spf anyone?

We were at the waterpark the other day. We had just arrived and were getting set up with our lounge chairs. I sat back to casually apply sunblock when I saw a flying insect buzzing around my inner thighs. Thinking it was a bee, I totally flipped out yelling for Mau to “Help me, help me!”. I jump up not wanting to be stung THERE and try to swat at it with my sunblock bottle. Little did I know it was a flying beetle and the top of the lotion bottle was open so, in the chaos of the moment, I was squirting lotion all over the man relaxing 2 chairs over from us. I apologized profusely but luckily he was friendly and joked about it. I was completely embarrassed.

My DDR metal pad is not functioning properly anymore. All the arrows are cracked but that is fine…it still plays fine despite that. 3 arrows have started to not respond, one being particularly assy. Heavy songs are not possible when you miss that many steps but I can get through most standard songs. I tried to simply go to Red Octane’s site and order new ones. No can do. They make a newer model now and the arrows are different and not compatible. I emailed them but, before I got a response, I found a link to order them. They arrived but are the new ones so I cannot use them. I received a response from them and they are sending me 3 red arrows for free but they don’t sell them anymore and are refunding me for the new ones. What a pain and I am still without a properly working pad until next week. Someday their new model will be off backorder and I will be able to afford it then I can play doubles again and let others play…with it being so temperamental, I forbid it currently. I don’t mean to be a DDR nazi but…

In the world of orthodontics, I am purple now and get to ditch the canine to canine elastics. I got a bigger wire on top (I have the biggest possible on bottom already) and I have to wear an elastic from top canine to bottom 2^nd molar on one side only…Giant Panda, they are much bigger than the Mountain Gorillas. This is to bring my midline on that side down and even. I asked if I was on schedule and was told if I wear my elastics as instructed (and I do), I am ahead of schedule and should be out of braces earlier than expected. Wow, whoohoo, awesome! I will not get my hopes up but that would be so so nice.
